when i was in 3rd grade i stopped eating pig because "i thought they were cute" And my dad jokingly said to me "Lol you think pigs are cute; well don't you think cows are cute too??" and i was like huh... i do think cows are cute.... And that thought stayed with me until i finally went vegan when i was 22. Best decision ive ever made. now my actions align with my morals and its liberating!
i have tried vegan and it makes me crave meat. all the respect to those can go vegan. im sorry but i love my meat products too much. be it beef or chicken or a fur/leather coat.
i live in a country that doesnt have those things like vegan egg, vegan butter, vegan options. Ok, sometimes there is a vegan option like cheese and milk but is very difficult to find and sooooo expensive you cant believe it, like 5 times more expansive then not vegan foods. So when i went vegan wasnt that easy. I had to find ways to do it all myself, like my cheese, my egg, my tofu. Right now all of this are easy but i think i understand why people dont become vegan here. I meant, tofu cousts like 30 bucks. Is funny when i watch people from other places and see those vegans options, i just wish my country was that way to people try to be more sustentable.
@@nom_de_guerre_ "Veganism isn't about convenience" Oh wow, that's entitled thing to say to someone. People become vegans for many different reasons, it's not up you to judge their reasons to do so and it's not their fault that in some countries it is more difficult to find things popular among vegans - I lived in such country myself. Yes, many vegan products were created just recently, but you clearly show lack of knowledge - vegan milk is known to people for hundreds of years for example, even being used by Christians during period of Lent instead of dairy. The person you are responding to also talks about tofu, which is also known for years. In my country even things like coconut milk or peanut butter can too expensive to use them on regular basis. The widespread access to those product helped vegans in many countries and you seem to ignore it, not understanding how difficult it might be. What you are really saying is "I don't have enough empathy to understand situation of vegans in other countries".
@@nom_de_guerre_ wtf? I'm vegan, i live without those vegan options. I love to make my own cheese, my own tofu right now. I'm saying that at the beggining was more difficult. I know that veganism isnt about food. I'm just saying the rest of the world, of my country would be more sustainable if there is cheap vegan options. The industry dont care about that, but i known a lot of people that would became more sustainable if vegan milk was the same or more cheap than cow milk. The human convenience isnt sustainable in any way, but is so much worst to use animals than vegetables do to such things like milk and others. And think that the industry will crumble is a uthopia. I wish it happens, i try to not live with that, but i'm human, i'm not perfect and i understand that is more easy if there is vegan options. Sadly, the rest of the world dont think the same. Comments like yours dont help anyone just make angry and thats why a lot of people hate us and dont try.
@@nom_de_guerre_ I'm not a vegan, judge me if it makes you happy -- leave her alone. Please, & thank you.

I get that! I went vegan for social reasons (vegan options common in friend group) and later some abstract „but the animals and the environment“ reason. But I haven‘t watched one of those documentaries before. Maybe I start that now. I think being aware of those violence against animals is part of compassion.
That was the best advice I got 2 years ago. I slowly made the transition and knew I would make mistakes but I didn’t let it deter me. It took me about 4 months to fully go vegan . Best decision I’ve made
You know, before I came to watch this video, my thoughts were spiraling about impulsively restricting so much food in my diet and going vegan, low-FODMAP, and sugar-free all at once. “These foods are bad, you should be happy to cut them out! If you don’t you’re a failure. You better cut them out. You HAVE to,” I kept thinking as I kept replaying the same scenarios in my head and crying about how sad a life this would be. I struggle with my digestive system everyday, so these thoughts often take a physical toll on me, whether it be to eat too much or too little or not at all out of fear of eating ‘bad’ foods. I’m still a teenager and I have so many struggles but a very limited support system so I feel alone and overwhelmed in my challenges. I often find myself in the same cycles repeating over and over and over again. I paused the video and left for a while, partially because my anxiety got the best of me. But when I came back, I unpaused the video and heard the last sentences, and teared up a bit. “I know it’s scary, but it can also be the most beautiful thing you ever do.” I really needed to hear that, something that I never hear from my parents, who often belittle and have hurt me over and over again. Thank you so much for being here.
hi, its been a whole year since this comment but how are you doing now? i as well am under 18 and tried doing low fodmap + sugar free as well as cutting a few other things out because of digestion issues, i thought i had candida at first so i found @nutriplanet shes a channel on youtube she has lots of sugar free gluten free options shes vegan, also @pickuplimes is a plant-based dietitian she has cheap meal prep videos etc. make sure you are taking b12 & vitamin d those are really basically the only supplements youll need for a vegan diet. i have a lot more thngs i want to share about digestion and stuff so just let me know if youre interested cause i dont want to type all that if it isnt necessary, if not, i wish you well, definitely check those channels out.
This is exactly what we tell our friends and family. It doesn't have to be an overnight change. Start by just changing your milk and maybe veganise a favorite meal such as lasagna. If you slip up who cares at least your trying. I want that first recipe in particular, never had kimchi for breakfast...yum!
Absolutely love this episode...great advice for me to take a healthy approach to being vegan again unlike my first time when I was a teenager in which I staved myself into an eating disorder. All the food looks delicious and amazing! I am eternal grateful for your stories and the food...blessings to you!
I’m still in the process of going fully vegan. I’m vegetarian 🌱 and have cut out eggs 🥚 dairy milk 🥛 and a lot of other things. The only thing I struggle with is mozzarella and a couple other cheese 🧀 The main thing for me though was the meat 🥩 and those poor animals 🐄 🐓 🐖 so I’m pretty comfortable with where I am for now. 💕
@@munajedski I’m actually trying to be whole food plant based which isn’t conducive with vegan meats and cheeses. It goes for more Whole Foods and less processed. I know we all have our way of doing what works best for ourselves. No shade on anybody for their personal choices.
Beautiful video and very well said! I went vegan a couple months ago and absolutely love living this way. Not only do I feel that I’m fueling my body and nourishing it but I feel at peace! Everything you said is so spot on!
I like the format of your videos. I’m looking at the recipes, and end results, but then your speech is another story. Yet both are easy to follow, and pay attention to.
I feel like I am listening to a self help audio book while watching a food show. Lol I am really enjoying it. Your voice and story telling is chef's kiss!
I absolutely love the stories that go with your cooking- I totally vibe with this! I love a good story or two 💗 btw I absolutely 1000% agree with what you said about compassion towards the end!
Such a great way to go about transitioning your diet in general. For me it's not eating meat during the week and try out vegan options were they are available. Milk for example is something I haven't found a great replacement for so I at least try to buy farmer friendly one
YES! I've been "vegan" for ~20 years, except for dairy and eggs in cakes/cookies; I'm lactose-intolerant and also I find that cooked eggs smell weird to me. I had someone once say "then you're not vegan!". But: I need an "elevator-speech" when I'm ordering at a restaurant, and by the time I've said all of the nuance, they're gone. Don't let "the perfect be the enemy of the good!"
By the way, based on the research I've done, oat milk is the most echo-friendly dairy alternative 😁 I don't have the source, so probably best to confirm for yourself. Actually, it could be interesting if it turns out there's a better vegan milk!
Joanne, I love 'The Korean Vegan Cookbook'. It is beautifully written, and adaptable to both professionals and home cooks. I really can relate to your transformation to becoming vegan. I love traditional ways of cooking and want to preserve food history. My daughter married someone a year ago that is vegan, and so we have been doing what we can to learn different ways of cooking when she is with us. I am both a trained pastry chef and have a culinary degree. I am now halfway through medical school (which is another story). I am constantly using the skills that I learned in culinary school every day I am in the kitchen. My husband has always eaten healthy, but recently he has decided to adopt Dr. Gundry's way of eating and also become mostly vegan. It is like a vegan on steroids. There are so many restrictions that I have to work around. (mostly - Dr. Gundry allows some meat and fish, but he also adapts to vegans). This has become very challenging for me and I needed to branch out of my comfort zone. I still have two teenagers at home, and it is a bit of an adjustment for them as well. Food brings us together, and I needed a way to enjoy that food so they did not feel like they were suffering somehow. This is when I purchased your book. I am incredibly impressed with the details and stories. I feel like we are friends. You write so personally and are so willing to be vulnerable to strangers. I am inspired by your willingness to adjust your lifestyle, and your words come at a perfect time when I myself am adjusting so that I can support my husband. I have never written a post before on TH-cam, but I wanted to let you know that you are incredible. Thank you for taking the courage to make great food and to share your culture and experiences with us.
Wow! Those look so wholesome and delicious, guess I'd better give them a try 🙂. Another great aspect of this video in particular is what you said about the way people poo poo empathy as weak and soft, when it is anything but weak. Personally, being soft is also as strong as it gets because in a world bent to harden us, if we're soft and receptive, typically it speaks of the utmost resiliency (but you knew all that. Just glad you said it because it's so important! 💖)
Thank you for making this video. It all looks so good! We appreciate your wisdom, efforts and authenticity! I am eating more and more vegetarian. I've got to explore more vegan cheeses (cheese is my weakness).
I really enjoy ur channel! Ur voice is amazing! I don’t plan to beat myself up ever again about weight or anything else. It’s all ok! I will just do my best! Thank you!
i would like to know more about the compassion part, like did you learn this from the journey of your diet? Or while making korean vegan? the compassion part sort of just bringing it up really quickly then it ended😄, love your content:)
👍🏻Thanks to talented creators like you I don’t think I will ever run out of new recipes to try. Great video! I am happy I found your channel it has so much to offer. I make TH-cam cooking videos too! I love learning new things from talented creators like you!! I’d love to learn more together! 🧅🫑🥔🥦
(9:00) As a recovered disordered eater when I began moving towards a plant based diet (and since my goals are also weight loss as part of health) I was very aware that the very nature of eliminating food groups might trigger me. I'm glad I noticed this because it has helped me keep in check the siren songs of my disorder. I also don't dismiss my family's concerns when they voice them out of hand. I take time to thank them for their love and care and then reflect whether I am being too harsh. In the end this way of eating is to serve my body (and in larger ways to help the planet). I am not a slave to the diet. I usually plan ahead when eating out with family but if I can't I eat what is available (last week it was pizza and the place had no salads). My family was so kind and asked if I was okay with that. I happily told them I was and the day was about the company. One slice (with mostly vegetables and pineapples anyway) was okay. Some dairy was not going to sabotage me. I didn't even have to finish the cheese.
Yummy to it ALL!!! I DO have a question for ya though....that clay pot with the cover that you used for the oats, can that be put on top of a smooth top stove top? I would seriously love an answer. I don't have that type of stove that has the raised grill that I had once before and now have the smooth glass top one. Thanks so much! Your fan from FL🌴
I really enjoy your videos Joanne! Everyone is trying their best and we have to forgive ourselves if we make mistakes and try again. It’s not up to others to judge if what we do is good enough or to judge if we’ve proven we’re dedicated enough.
I really love this advice. A lot of my family doesn’t understand my sons decision to eat mostly plant based foods because he still likes hamburgers and ground beef. I always have to tell them it’s his decision, I’m not going to force him to eat one way or another. He loves fruits and vegetables, so he still eats well. He’s also only 10, so I’m not gonna make him feel bad if he does or doesn’t want to eat meat or cheese. This advice is just what I needed to hear. I also want to say I am so happy for your cookbook. My son is part Korean, so I am trying to teach him about his Korean side of the family by introducing him to Korean food and culture. A lot of the recipes or restaurants have mostly meat. So he was very excited to see your vegan Korean cookbook, cuz now he feels like he can safely eat korean food without having to worry if it has meat in it. So thank you
I will be vegan for 12 years next month! I was vegetarian for a year before I went vegan but couldn’t bare to just leave it at that. My initial reason was for the animals but now it’s for the planet, its people, and my health as well. Like you, I don’t care or judge who is/isn’t vegan. The bulk of climate destruction is from huge corporations polluting the planet but I try to do what I can.
Are you gluten free?! Your recipes look amazing! I really want to try that tofu omelet..genius! It’s hard finding vegan and gluten free Korean recipes. I really appreciate you sharing these.
Did you say your prayer, then set out on the trial 2 weeks, or was this trial before what happened with your father which caused the prayer "deal"? I know they must fit in a certain order. Just curious, honestly. 💜 I just made some of the delicious egg rolls last night (your mother's method *is* genius) and I am so glad I made a bunch at once, as shown in that vid. I have lots for my oldest who is an eating machine at the moment. 😁
I am a semi-vegan cuz I love my pork , poultry & fish ! 🥰 I did curb my love of dairy though. A tremendous addiction for 60 years !! Hard to give up cheese and yogurt ! Just small portions once a week.
am I the only one who wants her to make an audio book her voice is just so relaxing 🤓

I happily told them I was and the day was about the company. One slice (with mostly vegetables and pineapples anyway) was okay. Some dairy was not going to sabotage me. I didn't even have to finish the cheese.
Its been 5.5 yrs for me too!
Out of all those changes, putting plant-based chocolate milk in my morning coffee sounds the hardest :)
Looks amazing
Your channel makes me feel so safe
Yum!
Love your channel. More recipes please
Please please please please make on one sided friendship 🙏
All three please😌😌❤
Why didn't I ever make other savory and add kimchi!!?? Omg that's genius! ❤️
Love your outfit. Your so beautiful, and you look so young.
Yummy to it ALL!!! I DO have a question for ya though....that clay pot with the cover that you used for the oats, can that be put on top of a smooth top stove top? I would seriously love an answer. I don't have that type of stove that has the raised grill that I had once before and now have the smooth glass top one. Thanks so much!
Your fan from FL🌴
Yes you can!!
@@TheKoreanVegan Should the temperature be lower when cooking in it on this type of glass top stove? Thanks!
I wish there was a love button! ❤
Same experience, same age!!
Well said! 🌱💪🏻✌🏻💚
I really loved this video. The stories to go with the different meals or that tasty treat at the end. 😋 yummy.
Try fried rice paper with seasoning 🤤
I LOVE YOU!!!💖💖💖💖💖
I really enjoy your videos Joanne! Everyone is trying their best and we have to forgive ourselves if we make mistakes and try again. It’s not up to others to judge if what we do is good enough or to judge if we’ve proven we’re dedicated enough.
I knoooooooow it’s hard being vegan when you live with others who aren’t 😞 but you made it seem more possible and really hopeful!! 😊
Joanna makes another yummy video
Me: (To quote Liz Lemon)
“I want to go to there!” 😍 🤤
I really love this advice. A lot of my family doesn’t understand my sons decision to eat mostly plant based foods because he still likes hamburgers and ground beef. I always have to tell them it’s his decision, I’m not going to force him to eat one way or another. He loves fruits and vegetables, so he still eats well. He’s also only 10, so I’m not gonna make him feel bad if he does or doesn’t want to eat meat or cheese. This advice is just what I needed to hear. I also want to say I am so happy for your cookbook. My son is part Korean, so I am trying to teach him about his Korean side of the family by introducing him to Korean food and culture. A lot of the recipes or restaurants have mostly meat. So he was very excited to see your vegan Korean cookbook, cuz now he feels like he can safely eat korean food without having to worry if it has meat in it. So thank you
Rasp are my fave berries.
Looks so delicious 😄❤️
I will be vegan for 12 years next month! I was vegetarian for a year before I went vegan but couldn’t bare to just leave it at that. My initial reason was for the animals but now it’s for the planet, its people, and my health as well. Like you, I don’t care or judge who is/isn’t vegan. The bulk of climate destruction is from huge corporations polluting the planet but I try to do what I can.
My ‘I can do this’ breakfast was oatmeal! It was every day for a loooong time
i need those tan lines...oh how i miss being tan😔
Tan lines and teaching! 🙌🏼😅
PLEASE TRY UNBLEACHED SUGAR or APPLE 🍎 SYRUP.
I love her videos unlike the vegan teacher she doesn't ridicule people who aren't vegan it's nice to see
I love that dress!
I love your spoon! 😊 The metal one you are using to eat with at 5:05. Please!!!
Are you gluten free?! Your recipes look amazing! I really want to try that tofu omelet..genius! It’s hard finding vegan and gluten free Korean recipes. I really appreciate you sharing these.
Can you do video on the almond butter toast thing plz
Big fan
❤
Did you say your prayer, then set out on the trial 2 weeks, or was this trial before what happened with your father which caused the prayer "deal"? I know they must fit in a certain order. Just curious, honestly. 💜 I just made some of the delicious egg rolls last night (your mother's method *is* genius) and I am so glad I made a bunch at once, as shown in that vid. I have lots for my oldest who is an eating machine at the moment. 😁
Bc of her i no longer eat pork or drink milk instead i drink oatly 🥰
I am a semi-vegan cuz I love my pork , poultry & fish ! 🥰
I did curb my love of dairy though. A tremendous addiction for 60 years !!
Hard to give up cheese and yogurt ! Just small portions once a week.
🙌🙌🙌
@@TheKoreanVegan 🥺u replieddd ! ❤ but im still slowly cutting things off , i no longer eat chicken either witch was also VERY hard 😅.
Love the Gluten Free options! can I substitute the potato flour for cassava flour?
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰🥰
Your videos make me want to go vegan
What if you don't like cooking for 1 person or at all
Every time I look at your food I say
“ Care to marry me…
gorgeous food…? “
i had no idea vegan food could look good like this
What’s that bowl that you used - can you use it on the stove?!
10:34 is that a rawvana reference 💀
